Hi @Chasity Couch a great mentor can be invaluable and take your career to enormous heights.

That is an enormous advantage. 

A 10% drop in price is enormous so the seller already knew he is overpriced.  

When the plumber came over to fix he stated right away that it was from the water freezing up in the pipe and then splitting the pipe under enormous pressure.

Again, this is a pretty big job and it might not be an enormous difference in cost just to put all new siding on.

Hey everyone,Pretty new to BP, but have been listening to the podcast/reading the forums for a little while and have gained an enormous amount of knowledge.

I just always felt that I didn’t have the money necessary to get started (I have enormous amounts of student loan debt).

I think these zones have the potential to be the biggest tax incentive since the New Markets Tax Credit - the potential tax savings could be enormous.

They then take those notes and package them with others from similar purchases and sell them along with their analysis to private investment funds.This leaves 45 notes from a package of 1,000 that three professional investment funds, doing intensive analysis by highly trained MBAs, have determined cannot yield even a minimal investment return.These are then offered to the individual investor, who according to those in the industry “with something to sell” (the leftover NPNs and/or “training”) can profit enormously by (1) making them re-performing notes or (2) foreclosing and selling the property for large profits.The pitch from those “with something to sell” is twofold: (1) “There is plenty of meat left on the bone” (actual quote), and (2) if you send the borrower a complete package of all docs, weighing, say, five pounds you will “shock and awe” him into paying on the note.I highly doubt either of these claims have even a micron of validity.The parties with a financial interest in you buying into this will cite isolated instances of great success, never mentioning the all-more-frequent instances of total failure.So at the end of the day the training promoters have collected up to $30,000 per person for their NPN “mentoring”/”coaching” program, the retail asset disposer has made 50% to 100% profit on their inventory, private middlemen have turned a $2,500 investment in a note into $16,000, and my sister-in-law who purchased 5 NPNs over three years ago and has spent large amounts on attorneys, taxes, and brokers has yet to see a penny in return.To paraphrase, if you don’t know who the sucker is in any ultra-high profit promise situation, it’s you.

If you have the ability to live 6 months & 1 day in NV and avoid that, your realized earnings & savings may be enormous if you have the ability to tele-commute with any day job.
